Kate needs to stop denying she's a perfectionist and a controller. she needs to watch her own show and see how she acts. she became to vain. since when did she become "conscious" about paparazzi. you live in the spotlight. what do you expect. money is really the root of all evil, see what happens when you ask for too much, you have to remember it has to balance, can't have them all. have you seen how you treat Jon..."go do something", "remove this and that", "sit there"...you are too worried on how you would look like for the TV or the camera...you forgot how to have fun. kids are suppose to have fun, so what if they have to get dirty, give them old clothes for play clothes so you don't have to worry of getting them dirty.

I've read through the previous comments & I think its wrong for those of you to bash Jon & Kate.One of the comments said they thought Kate is a B......,if your a woman you know at some point you have been one too.Raising 8 children I'm sure can be very frustrating at times & Kate doesn't hold back just because shes on TV,like some might.I also disagree with the person who thinks they're EXPLOITING their children.If I had 8 kids & had the chance to do a reality series not only to show others what its like to raise that many kids but I'm sure it also helps to have the extra money it brings in so they can buy a lot more things for the children & a bigger home for them.I see nothing wrong with that.All this news about Jons supposed infidelity is also no ones business to judge.We have no idea about whats actually going on & its a private matter that should be between Jon & Kate-who are we to judge them.Its not like any of us know them personally & that would be the only way we could form a rational opinion.Since none of us do know them,its all speculation. I love the show & hope it continues,its one of the few reality shows that is real & not scripted to make them look perfect-because NONE of us are!!!

Jon and Kate Plus 8 is a reality show based around the lives of Jon and Kate Gosselin and their eight children, Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel. The shows wins points for being one of the few reality shows that actually isn't fake. Everything is shot in real time, and what you see is actually what is going on in their everyday lives. However, while the show is realism is a positive point, it also proves to be a negative point as well.The show has been on the air for four years, and in that time viewers have watched Kate Gosselin go from a loving mother to a greedy woman who does not show her children the love they deserve. While Kate was controlling in the first two seasons, she still showed her children that she cared for them. But, too many freebees have gone to Kate's head, and it is painfully obvious. Jon is less greedy then his wife, but it is still obvious that much of the things they receive from helpful sources is just a bad attempt at product placement. Many viewers have been driven away by Jon and Kate's greed. It seems that they will take anything as long as its free.On a lighter note, the true joy of the show are Jon and Kate's eight children. Each child shines in their own way.Cara is motherly towards the younger children, and is the athlete in the family.Mady tells it how it is. She is not afraid to show her family to tell her parents how she feels about something. While some may call this bratty, I call it spunk.Alexis is the loudest of the sextuplets, and is the biggest troublemaker of the bunch.Hannah is what Kate calls "the little mother." She is mature for a four year old, and actually helps fold laundry for her mother. But she also has an attitude of an eight year old.Aaden is the animal lover, and he is always pretending to be some animal of sort.Collin is the most stubborn of the six little children, yet he is helpful. Kate calls him her "helper boy." Leah is the smallest of the bunch, but don't let that fool you. She is a bundle of energy that is always running around and jumping off things.And last but not least you have Joel. He is the quietest of the tups, but he is also the cutest of the boys. It's is to hard to describe Joel in a few words so I'll just say he is interesting.Overall, the children are the reason the show is on the air, and it well worth the time to watch. You never know what to expect from these children, and each episode is a pleasure to watch so long as the children are the center of attention.

I'm a single parent with one daughter. My daughter is 11 and she and I really enjoy watching Jon & Kate plus 8. It's a great show and Jon and Kate do a great job. I could not imagine having that many kids but if I did I would do the same by taking care of them. My mother had 8 but not at the same time. The only comment I'd like to make because I am divorced and raising my daughter alone. I think it's great that Jon and Kate get away and have dinners alone from time to time. The only thing I notice and my daughter often comments on, is the fact that Kate is so bossy. On several shows I notice how she speaks to Jon as if he was one of the children. I was watching one episode were Madeline commented that her mom bosses her dad around and she's the queen bee. That's the only thing that really bother me. But, it's nothing against the show I just had to express that.Sincerely, faithful viewer
